This is the first. Saying 'there is a self' refers to self-grasping; 'there is no self' refers to the absence of self-grasping. If there were a grasped self, there could be self-grasping; since the grasped self is already non-existent, how could there be an object of grasping? That is, originally there is no self, yet one falsely gives rise to grasping: this is called 'self-grasping.' Since there is no self-grasping, why does the Buddha speak \[of it\]? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.188](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2.188) - [Next: 2.190](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2.190) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735~en-mt.2.189) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2.189](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2735.2.189) · Pramāṇa
